Educational Philosophy

Spalding Catholic School is a Christ-centered educational community dedicated to the development of the whole child. We believe that parents are the primary educators of their children; it is their right and duty to educate them. Spalding Catholic School aids parents with this responsibility by providing a faith atmosphere that is supportive of the Christian family values.

Our vision of the graduate of Spalding Catholic School is one who is committed to Christian values, has a strong sense of self-esteem, and respects the uniqueness of others.

• We see the pupil as a child of God, one who needs the nurture of Christ-like caring.

• We hold a vision of the school as a Catholic Christian community where Christian values are made manifest.

• We believe the classroom should be a caring community, a special learning environment where the unique personhood of each child is respected and nurtured.

• We believe the major goal of education is the development of the child’s ability to make moral decisions and to act accordingly.

• We agree the curriculum and instructional program be value oriented and global in scope to meet the present and future needs of the students, using varied methods and resources.
